LongHorn Steakhouse

Went to Longhorn Steakhouse last night for a friend’s birthday. We started with the Crab Cake appetizer while we waited for friends to show — 6 people in our party.
The waitress was friendly, we were seated quickly… But it’s all down hill from there.
Crab cake appetizer — tasted like a frozen microwave meal. Not what I would consider to be restaurant quality food.
Our order covered everything from Ribeyes to Chicken. It seems that chicken is the specialty of this Steakhouse. 3 out of the 5 Steaks were improperly cooked = Medium rare came out almost raw, Medium came out Well-​Done. After we realized the issue, we let them know that they «miss-​fired» pretty badly. The manager was apologetic and tried to make it right, but I am still feeling rough when I reflect on the total bill of $ 150!!!
When we got to the end — time for the check… We chose to split the total check amongst 2 of us in the party. When the waitress brought us the check, she announced the amounts on the check to the entire table — I looked at her and said «What are you doing? Why would you announce that to the table?» She said back «It looks like I can’t do anything right for you guys.»
The manager stood proudly overlooking this… and I asked him: «Do you give the check to the entire table?» He said nothing…
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH — Poor food… Poor Service… Why even go out to eat?
I ONLY WISH THERE WAS A NEGATIVE 10 I COULD RATE THIS PLACE.

This restaurant is outdated, in a run down part of Columbia, they used to have good service and good food. But like the area it is located it has fallen far behind in both. An over priced mediocre meal with poor service. I can not recommend.

Dec.5 2015. Tried this restaurant. The waitress was very nice. Had to wait awhile for meal. Bread and butter was served. Food was very good. Desert wasn’t sweet. Peanut butter cheesecake.

First of all the service was EXCELLENT! Our waitress Christa R is sooooo awesome! She was very attentive, friendly, and down right on her J.O.B! Everything came right on time and was great. Sorry no photos. I got right down to business. I had the ribeye steak and grilled shrimp with seasoned rice. My friend had the steak and ribs with mashed potatoes. My friend later looked at the menu and noticed that they had chilli cheese fries and started to ordered them minutes after our order was already placed. Christa realized that she must have really wanted them so later on she spoke to her manager and then brought out my friend some chilli cheese fries on the house! What a surprise! We tipped her $ 21 on a $ 55 ticket. I noticed on the receipt that Christa wrote Colossians 1:13−15 on the top. What a great way to witness! So if you want exceptional service here at LongHorn’s then ask for Christa R.

Amazing food, succulent and delicious steak, I got the 11oz renegade. The gf got a burger and fries and was juicy and thick. What set it apart was the teamwork displayed among the staff. We had multiple ppl aside from our waitress, who was phenominal ask for Kristin, checking on us for the duration. Just a really great experience!!!

Solid steaks and dishes. Great friendly service. Can’t go wrong with the filet and lobster!

Have only been one time. I sat at the bar to eat quick and be on my way. Bartender was on the spot and brought me water and a menu immediately.
Once that was done I was ignored for the next 20 minutes. I literally got up and left and the hostess and manager on duty said hope I enjoyed myself as I was leaving. I let them know what happened and they of course wanted me to come back in but at that point I didn’t have the time or inclination to stay.
All because the bartenders friends were at the bar.

Very pleased with the service we got here. We never had to ask for refills and the waiter was nice and personable. Even when I didn’t enjoy my sides he offered to get me a different one and when I declined he took the cost of that side off my meal. The steaks were cooked perfectly! I loved mine!

Visiting from So. Cal for the week. Our waitress Chelsea was great and very attentive to everything we needed. The ribeye was grilled to perfection. It was so good i decided to bring my son who just graduated from the army a few days later again. I brought the whole family with me and this time we got Lisa as our waitress and again the service was amazing.
Thank you LONGHORN!!!

I ate here for lunch on 4÷30÷2013. I ordered the grilled chicken and strawberry salad along with the loaded potato soup. All I can say is delicious. I will definitely visit again. The only downfall was the wait time to be seated as well as wait time for your food.

The appetizer was good (calamari), service was terrible. The food took so long we ended up leaving without the entrees. Not a good place if you have limited time for lunch.

In Columbia visiting family and after an afternoon of shopping decided on dinner. Convenient location, seated immediately, and the restaurant was at capacity. Ordered appetizers with drinks and they were served quickly. Plenty of food and cooked to order. Noticed new menu items. Always like to see growth or change in an established restaurant. Desert was amazingly light. Waiter did not rush us and this location does a hefty takeout business. Don’t pass by, next time stop in and enjoy a renegade steak or some babyback ribs.

I was invited to dinner here, but I had a late lunch so I was still full when dinner came around. I didn’t order any dinner, but had the Key Lime Pie instead. All I can say is that it tasted like it was bought from a store. It had an odd taste like too much preservative or something so sometimes it did not taste good. I would never order it again. I also had a seafood dip and that was good but it didn’t wow me. All in all not a steakhouse I would go back to.

My husband and I have eaten at this restaurant twice (the second time hoping it would be better than the first) and we’ll surely never go back. The food is so-​so and the service stinks. The second time our waiter got both of our orders wrong and I sat for 10 minutes with an empty glass. Skip this location and go to Five Points if you’re set on Longhorn.
